Actor John Hamm: 'It's Not Weak to Say, I Need Help.'

Actor Joe Hamm (star of the show Mad Men) did a stint in rehab for an alcohol addiction. Hamm recently (2017) confessed in an interview, "I'm certainly damaged—there's no denying it. When your mom dies when you're nine, and your dad dies when you're 20, and then you live on couches in other people's basements … We live in a world where to admit anything negative about yourself is seen as weakness … It's not weak to say, 'I need help.'"
